eat the rich

prescriptions we apply to people without knowing

what they’ve been, how they’ve been growing

but people are so strange, 

people who change

cause kids grow up to be adults just the same

a bully will burst a kid’s lip, 

they’d control and hold every ounce of their fist

so they can rule the schoolyard, 

with no one to resist 

it’s not hard to imagine… this kid growing up 

a little to eager to show off he’s tough

other kids in the yard must feel the wrath of a bully

without facing hardship someone doesn’t grow up fully

but that subjugation isn’t sufficient, 

living with a owner isn’t living, 

so does the bully face some backlash? 

tough love, their own flavor medicine, well

for a fact, 

some are placed on a pedestal still 

with none to confront,

some bullies grow up, never once

feeling pushback from a punch

they’ll convince some with reassurance

that they’re rule must be just

they made it there, they climbed a ladder 

that wasn’t there, they tore and tattered 

the people in-front of them and mangled their bones

the heirs and billionaires sit atop slave built thrones 

bullies all the same,

but a schoolyard bully is not to blame

a schoolyard bully can be scolded and told 

their manors and mention to their peers their less cold 

grow a tinge 

if you can believe it 

but billionaires are more than mere bullies

they writhe at the thought of egalitarianism

there's a delusion that ensues

what a bully never once is told what to do

a rejection of life

a distain for meaning

billionaires purpose is for proletarian feeding ;)
